Chapter 1

It has been 2 years now. 2 Years of fake names and fake smiles. 2 years of moving on and forgetting and focusing on surviving in a world with werewolves, vampires and much more. And no humans think they are real so I can't talk to anyone about them. 2 years since I walked into my parents being murdered by very human looking vampires. I am very smart in bad situations. I have been in fighting classes and gymnastics since I was a little girl but didn't start getting good at it until 5 months before my parents' deaths. I have just moved into a town called Silver Willow.

I start Silver Willow high school tomorrow. Well I guess in 3 hours. I don't sleep much. I haven't been able to. The vampires really want me for some reason. I've heard that the werewolves want me so they can help me, But I can't trust anyone or anything. I live in a cabin 3 miles into the woods next to Silver Willow city. So I should probably forget about sleep at this point and make the walk into town. I've thought about buying a car. But If I buy a car I'll have to sign paperwork causing my name to be on them adding a trail to where I am.

I leave my house and lock up.

I start my 3 mile walk to school when I hear the dreadful rustle of leaves that sets my nerves on edge.

Then of all things to hear I hear a grunt and breaking of bones. Meaning one thing. "Werewolf"

"Oh come on!" I yell out loud and throw my hands up in the air as this werewolf has been tracking me for 3 days now.

The wolf jumps out from behind the giant blueberry bushes aiming to land on me. From what I have seen he doesn't want me dead. But he wants me for some reason. I very lazily moved to the side a little bit as he landed and started circling me trying to determine my next move.

"Dude come one Mr. Human Wolf thing. I have to get to school. It's a 3 mile walk and I'd hate to start out my first day as a senior at Silver Willow and late."

The wolf just looks at me and then looks to his own back as if saying hop on.

"Yeah no way that's happening. You get your paws on me, a human. Who knows your secret. And what's stopping you from killing me? Come on like I barely escaped 2 vampires last night who are basically human with extra speed and umm a want for blood. I'm not sure if I have the energy to put up with you right now. Let alone the 2 other guys who I am assuming are werewolves and are with you and should put some clothes on if they want to be on my property."

I hear two gasps and ooh she's good. And then bones cracking, popping, and breaking.

Both wolves jump from the bushes behind me. I am not fazed by them and start picking a bunch of blueberries.

"Can you guys just not. Today is my mom's birthday. I can't go visit the grave I made for her without her body because they probably took the bodies; those stupid vampires are probably still looking for me." I- I shouldn't even really go to school I say with a hint of sadness in my voice but quickly swallow the sadness down remembering that I am being circled by 2 werewolves and what must be their alpha.

The wolf who first found me. The Alpha. Whines when I show weakness.

"Wow don't wolves take advantage of weakness and go for the kill at that moment? You are whining like you care about how I feel. Especially you! I point to the bigger pure white wolf. If you're the alpha of the werewolves then you should be ashamed of your hunting skills because Me an over paranoid good for nothing human female has caught on to you and just didn't want to face a big scary beast like you quite yet. The werewolf in question just looks at me with an almost loving expression which is weird. Maybe he is going to love killing me or something." His eyes go wide as he realizes that I know when he first found me.

"You may be quiet and stealthy, but I refuse to die just yet. I plan on finishing my senior year first. Then go after me. Just let me have my senior year. It's something my mom would want. Because I'm slowly losing it. I have been chased from California to someplace in the middle of the woods in Idaho by vampires and werewolves fighting over who gets me first; it kind of opens up my ears a bit and makes me more alert to danger and death around every corner. Now if you please I need to go." I say going to walk past but the other two wolves block me and look at me with almost curiosity and empathy.

They start to nudge me with their snouts towards their alpha.

I think fast and do a side backflip out of their ring. Their heads follow me and they all look at me with shock written all over their faces.

"It's nice to be a pro at gymnastics!" I Yell while escaping.

I run as fast as I can. But I know I can't outrun a wolf let alone a werewolf which is about the size of a freaking horse.

So I get to the nearest tree and run up it a bit then grab onto a low hanging branch and hoist myself up to the next and to the next getting too high for them to reach me in their wolf form.

All three of them circle the tree I am in. Looking at me with wide eyes once in a while. The alpha wolf which is a pure white wolf looks at the others and then looks at me and one of the black wolves takes off and goes behind a tree. I know now what he's doing, he's gonna turn into his human form. The other pure white and the pitch black wolf stay as their wolves and one starts to scratch at the tree and whine trying to convince me to come down. While the pure white one is sitting staring at me with a wolfie smirk on his face. And an almost loving look.

I then hear a very deep manly voice that sends a slight shiver down my spine. He's gonna try to use his charm on me. It's not gonna work. I laugh at myself out loud. The other wolf's smirk gets even wider.

Then He speaks, still coming out from behind the tree still putting his pants on.

Layla Please come down. We aren't here to hurt you. We want to help you. Our pack has always worked around humans in secret and haven't ever harmed one, you've got nothing to fear please come down darling. He says his voice dripping with seductiveness.

"No, I think I'll just stay up here. It's kinda cozy up here without 2 overgrown wolves and now a werewolf trying to use his charm on me. Which doesn't work on me. Never has never will."

"Oh it works I just need to be more persuasive." He says as he drops his pants and tells me to come down again.

The pure white wolf growls at the guy

"Um now it's a double no. I do not feel like being raped by a horny werewolf. I choose life, thank you very much."

His expression goes from cocky to horrified in 2 seconds.

"No I uh Layla I wouldn't do that. I'd be killed." He says the last part quietly.

"Then why did you just drop your pants? Thank god for the invention of underwear." I say with sarcasm

"How are you ignoring my werewolf ability? No human can resist it."

"I'm not sure vampires can't get me to do what they want. Werewolves can't get me to do what they want. Hell, humans can't get me to do what they want. I do what I want, when I want, and when I please. Pluss It keeps me safe. Usually when a supernatural like you guys uses their ability the outcome isn't good and I don't feel like dying yet. I am going to survive. Weather I have to be on the run my whole life. I will survive. It's what my parents would have wanted."

"Well I agree with you. You shouldn't ever give up your survivalist spirit. It's kept you alive for so long. But I'm sorry, but you are safer with me." He says as I suddenly realize the other wolf who was scratching at the tree is missing."

"I suddenly feel a prick in my neck. And feel a pair of strong arms around me. I look back to see the culprit, god! Why do they have to look so hot?"

I let out a frustrated grunt.

"The last thing I say before everything goes dark. I'm sorry Mom and Dad. I failed. They got me. I'll see you soon. They are going to kill me, I know it. I then feel myself getting tied down to something fluffy, I then realize that it's the pure white wolf, the only one who didn't show their human form."
